What is your best piece of advice for someone seeking employment in the project management field with limited experience?

Stephanie, finding a mentor to guide you is a good starting point. Also do not be afraid to acknowledge your shortcoming and show a willingness to learn, your question already indicates this. Make a 'nuisance' of yourself and try to get in on every single opportunity you can to shadow an experienced PM. Many get into PM via the administrator role which exposes you to a lot of learning opportunities without having the burden of full accountability. Good luck on your journey.

Continue to develop skills that are important in project management - organizational and planning, communications, and interpersonal and leadership skills. Relate your current duties to the project management processes mentioned in the PMBOK guide. Apply the project management framework to ordinary projects in your life - organizing a birthday party, renovating your bedroom, or joining a marathon.
